The impact of calculating cancer incidence rates using the 2013 European Standard Population

This short story examines the impact of applying the new 2013 European Standard Population (ESP) to calculate age-standardised cancer incidence rates. This document focuses solely on the impact of applying the new methods to previously published cancer incidence data for 2011. Starting from this reporting year (2014/15), ONS outputs containing cancer incidence data will use the revised age-standardisation method.
